What is skirt steak? Skirt steak is a cut of beef known for its flavor, which is why it’s one of my favorite cuts of meat for grilled steak recipes. Skirt steak is a long, thin and lean cut of meat and is best served medium rare and cut against the grain for the most tender steak.

It’s similar to flank steak and is often used in recipes like fajitas though it can absolutely stand on its own in delicious a delicious grilled steak recipe, like this one.

What is chimichurri? Chimichurri is a sauce that’s traditionally used in South American and Mexican dishes but seems to lately be making its way onto many North American menus as well.

Chimichurri sauce is herby, garlicky and oh-so-delicious on any variety of meats and vegetables but is popularly used as a sauce for steak, as I’ve done with this Skirt Steak Chimichurri. It can be used as a marinade or sauce.

My authentic Chimichurri sauce is made with parsley, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, and red wine vinegar but there are many variations of it and it’s one of the easiest sauces for steak to customize as you can make it spicy if you’d like or omit the cilantro if it’s not your thing.
